Clueless people will happily trod down this path and not see where it leads. People who’ll say things like “people should use their real names online and be held accountable!” go silent when the places mandating this are the ones killing people for saying the leader is a flawed human or because someone didn’t properly cover their hair.

VPN bans make the oppression inescapable. You see who the real dangerous people are when those who’ll still defend it come out.

It’s easy to think these dangers are just “over there.” It’s important to remember these things will happen here if we’re not careful.

I care more what happens to me, than what I care what happens in a random part of the world. You may not like it, and it may not suit your agenda, but it do be like that.
